3. Connect the device to the LAN port on your router or gateway using an Ethernet
cable.
4. Plug the second PowerLINE device into a wall outlet where you want to add Internet
access.
5. Use the Ethernet cable that came with your adapter to connect the PowerLINE device
to an Ethernet port on a computer, game console, Blu-ray player, or other peripheral
device.
6. Wait until the Pick A Plug LEDs are lit.
7.
To use a private encryption key, press the button on one of the adapters for two
seconds, and then press the button on the other adapter for two seconds.
Both buttons must be pressed within two minutes.
WARNING: Do not press the button on the PowerLINE adapter until installation is
complete and the adapters are communicating with each other (indicated by the
blinking Power LED). Pressing this button too soon can temporarily disable PowerLINE
communication. If this occurs, use the Factory Reset button to return the PowerLINE
adapter to its factory default settings.
Note: The button does not work in power saving mode.
8.
Wait for the PowerLINE network to recognize each PowerLINE device.
This process could take as little as 5 seconds or up to 80 seconds.
When the Power LEDs stop blinking, the process is complete. If the Pick A Plug LEDs
are green or amber, the devices are successfully connected to the PowerLINE
network. A red Pick A Plug LED indicates a slow link rate. In this case, move the
PowerLINE device to another electrical outlet with a faster connection.
9.
If you are installing additional adapters, repeat Step 7 with one of the secure adapters
and one of the adapters that is not yet secured.
